1. Shop for Soft and Stylish Basics 

Swap out your maternity clothing for comfy and cute postpartum basics. Buttery-soft fabrics and timeless looks will flatter your figure and make it easier to nurse. When it’s time for bed, you’ll love bamboo pajamas for women for their soft feel and seasonless fabric. Chic prints add flair to your wardrobe for the evening, and you’ll feel polished when you wear them for early morning selfies.

When it comes to daywear, a mama can’t help but feel amazing in a flattering, flowing tunic top paired with relaxed denim jeans. A light wash is excellent for cozy cotton tees and nursing shirts. Add a darker wash or pair of black denim to create classic outfits and avoid pesky stains.


2. Choose a Cute Baby Bag 

Diaper bags are a popular shower gift, but many new moms realize they double as purses. If two bags are too much to manage, don’t sacrifice your style for convenience. An adorable backpack or tote can double as a handbag and diaper bag. 

With a smart bag design, you can keep your wallet and baby essentials in one place. Baby supply stores and even your favorite designers have fashion-forward leather backpacks with extra storage on the sides. Many stylish totes look like designer handbags, with chic leather straps and roomy zippered pockets. 


3. Coordinate with Your Baby 

Creating cute outfits is much easier when you can match them with your baby! Mommy and me pajamas are the perfect way to snuggle in style with your newborn. Take selfies in coordinating gingham or cuddle together in fun holiday prints. Soft, stretchy fabric is comfy for you and your little one. 

Some stores even sell matching mommy and me dresses and outfit sets. Wear your version of a chic print or trendsetting style, then pick out the same look from your baby’s closet. While it takes minutes to dress in matching styles, you and your baby will look fresh and polished.

4. Buy Mix and Match Separates or Sets 

Choose a few of your favorite clothing colors or signature prints, and then add tops and bottoms to your wardrobe to create outfits in seconds. This style strategy works for you and your baby. Neutral tops and bottoms always create a coordinated look, but you can also include floral prints or stripes that complement classic solids like black or brown. 

Baby bodysuits are easy to match with leggings or elastic waist denim. New moms will look amazing in an oversized jewel-toned sweater with neutral-colored stretchy shorts or roomy jeans. Mix and match overalls with solid tees and black or navy prints with almost any print. Sets make it simple to layer a cute, coordinated outfit with a cardigan or cropped jacket. Add personality to a neutral outfit with colorful sneakers or ballet flats. 

5. Have Fun with Accessories 

On-trend accessories can help turn your comfy clothes into a stylish ensemble, so break out your trusty tees and leggings! Moms look chic in a knit scarf or statement necklace. Elevate your outfit with a bold chain featuring a pop of color or bracelets made with rich metallics. Beanies and baseball caps add an edgy, sporty flair to a pair of jeans and a solid-colored top or a cotton dress with a denim jacket. Printed sneakers and socks are a playful way to incorporate personality into an outfit featuring solid leggings or a shirt dress. 

If you have a growing family, big brothers and sisters will have just as much fun with accessories as parents. Let your prince or princess pick out a bracelet or belt to go with their toddler clothes, like their cute pocket tees and bodysuits. Every little one looks adorable with a hat or bow headband! Let them match their accessories with mom for a standout look. 

6. Experiment with Neutrals 

For what neutrals lack in color, they make up for in versatility. Neutral shades are incredibly fashionable because they match everything. Monochromes such as navy and heather gray make shopping and coordinating clothing easy. 

Sweaters and nursing tops come in plenty of neutral hues, so accessorize a cognac-colored pullover or a beige shirt with colorful, chunky knit sweaters or a cute hat. White and cream are popular for mom and baby clothes but don’t hide stains. Try a top and pants set in olive green or toffee if you want something darker. Wear periwinkle socks or a pink headband to add a pop of color to a black yoga set or taupe leggings and a sweater dress. If they’re the same size, you can even share clothing among multiples. Neutrals are excellent for a mom’s wardrobe because they’re flattering and versatile. 

7. Create Capsule Wardrobes 

New moms rejoice! A capsule wardrobe lets you get dressed without overthinking. Imagine an affordable and minimalist clothing set with adorable accessories and outfit choices suitable for different occasions. Some of the best pieces for creating your capsule wardrobe include neutral t-shirts, denim bottoms, and classic blazers. A solid-colored dress is perfect for pairing with white tennis shoes, a jacket, or ballet flats. 

Make your capsules mom-friendly with draped cardigans and roomy cotton trousers. Culottes and flowing blouses can coordinate with a leather jacket or bold sunglasses. You can do the same for your baby when you create cute capsules featuring a rainbow of bodysuits and comfy bottoms. 

Enjoy New Motherhood in Stylish and Cozy Outfits 

New moms can feel comfy and look stylish. Remember these style tips when shopping for your postpartum outfits and coordinate your clothing with your baby. You won’t overthink your ensembles — and you’ll save money. Best of all, you’ll have more time to relax with your little one!
